    I came into this appointment feeling scared, vulnerable, and in severe pain. I was hoping for both…read morean immediate plan to address the intense swelling and pain in my face, and a long-term plan to repair a large septal perforation that's impacting my breathing and quality of life. Unfortunately, I left feeling completely dismissed and hopeless. The doctor was aloof and showed very little empathy. He told me only "some doctors" can do septal repairs and that he had never done one, making it seem like I just had to live with this condition. When I asked directly for any kind of plan or hope for resolution, he didn't offer anything meaningful. His only suggestions were a different antibiotic, icing my face, sleeping elevated, and a nasal swab that wouldn't yield results for 3-4 weeks--while I'm actively suffering. There was no pain management plan discussed--not even non-medical options that could help soothe or reduce the facial and nasal pain. The appointment was rushed, lacked compassion, and I felt like he just wanted me out the door. I was treated more like a problem than a patient, and it was clear he had already formed assumptions about me, which colored the entire interaction. This was incredibly disappointing. I came seeking help and was left feeling unheard and hopeless. No one in pain and distress should be made to feel like this.

    One of the best things I like about this office is they are respectful of your time. You do not…read morewait a long time in the waiting room or n the exam room before you are seen. Everyone in the office was pleasant and courteous. I had my ears cleaned, had a hearing exam, and discussed options with Dr. Evans. I felt valued as a patient and will come back again next year for an annual evaluation.

    BEWARE OF BILLING PRACTICES! I had an annual checkup, received my bill, and paid it. Then I…read morereceived another bill for a "nasal endoscopy" which was more than my checkup. When I inquired about the additional charge, I was told that looking in my nose was not included in the annual checkup because they used a device with a light. WHAT? How is looking in my nose NOT included as part of an annual allergy checkup? The doctor spent 2 seconds looking in each nostril and they charged me an additional $387!!!! VERY SKETCHY BILLING PRACTICES. After 4 years, I will never go back, nor recommend. The response below clearly shows they are fully aware of what they are doing. Not informing a patient that simply looking in your nose will be considered a separate charge and not giving that patient the full knowledge that they can refuse it BEFORE it is done IS deceptive and wrong. DO NOT TRUST THEM!!!!!

    I have been a patient at Aspire Allergy & Sinus (South Austin) since 2022, and unfortunately my…read moreexperience has been a range of excellent medical care and extremely frustrating care, billing and communication issues. On the positive side, I underwent sinus procedures with Dr. Thompson, and those results remain excellent after 3+years. However, my allergy treatment experience has been a completely different story. After testing positive to 55 out of 60 common Central Texas allergens, I spent three years on allergy drops with little to no improvement. During that time, I made numerous office visits and so many calls to the nurse line because I continued to struggle with significant symptoms. Most of the recommendations seemed to involve trying additional OTC antihistamines or yet another prescription nasal spray, including one that cost me $125 out of pocket. The only provider who consistently seemed invested in finding solutions and showed genuine concern for my situation was Dr. Overstreet. After three years without meaningful improvement, I decided to try Aspire's eXACT treatment. I paid $2,500 out of pocket because I was told insurance would not cover it. My understanding was that this fee covered three treatment sessions and a follow-up appointment three months after last shot. I was also told that if the treatment was unsuccessful, the series could be repeated at NO additional charge. This made the cost a little more bearable. My eXACT treatment appointments were paid for and all 4 were scheduled in advance during my annual visit in October 2025. I completed the series in January, and attended my follow-up appointment in April 2026 specifically to discuss whether the treatment had been successful. Unfortunately, I experienced no relief and actually endured one of my worst allergy seasons yet. During that follow-up visit with Anna Wendel, we discussed repeating the treatment at a higher dose. Because of symptoms I described, the provider wanted to rule out asthma before proceeding, so I was asked to complete a breathing test. At no point was I informed that this test would result in additional charges to me or my insurance company. I was shocked when I later saw a claim submitted to my insurance for more than $500 and then I received a bill from Aspire for approximately $160. When I contacted billing, Bailey was professional, helpful, and responsive. However, after reviewing the situation with the clinic, I was told that the visit had been coded as a problem-focused visit rather than the follow-up appointment that had been scheduled 6 months in advance as part of my treatment plan. I was promised a call from the office manager to discuss the situation. Almost a month later, I have yet to receive that call. Over the past 3+ years, I have spent well over $15,000 between insurance payments and out-of-pocket costs pursuing relief through Aspire. What disappoints me most is NOT that a treatment failed--medicine is not guaranteed--but that I was charged for services that I reasonably understood to be part of a pre-arranged treatment follow-up, and when I questioned it, communication stopped. I had my last shot today from the 2nd round of treatment and will never return to Aspire, nor will I pay a fraudulent invoice. I would not be writing this review if someone had simply addressed the concern, and admitted to the mistake in the coding of my visit and the billing of my insurance company when this was all marketed as covered in the $2500 eXACT one time fee. IMO these exude unprofessional and fraudulent behaviors. I encourage prospective patients to thoroughly research both the clinical and billing experiences (specifically BBB & Google reviews) before committing to long-term treatment at Aspire, as I am now learning this seems to be a normal practice of incorrect billing and ignoring their patient's calls.

    I have a few different things that I was disappointed about…read more I am disappointed that I was made to pay for a visit to discuss test results when it could've been discussed with me over the phone. Also this was a follow up "visit" from my annual. I have had this experience before and I was never asked to pay for my follow up appt and I was told "it's a part of your annual, you don't need to. It's covered." when I asked at Lone Star Medical why I needed to pay for a follow up visit, her answer at the front desk was "it's $25 :)". So I was like whatever, just get it over with. But I don't think that was fair. On regards to the provider care, I was told everything was fine -many things were, but not everything. I caught a low level for something on my bloodwork and a high one that's been alarming for me for a couple of years now and my provider just goes "it's not bad". But I do have several symptoms of something "unknown" and "undiagnosed" things that aren't normal. The wait times when I was scheduled and fasted was insane. The lab provider was amazing! 5 stars to her. In all senses. Great at her work and she deserves a raise! Also, I had recommended a friend so she could have her annual visit and we both are new patients, however, they never ever called her back to schedule hers. Of course she ended up going somewhere else. I just wish this town would have better options that take insurance and provide caring care. Not business care. My provider, however, the great things I can say is that she has an amazing personality and made me feel like home while in the office visit with her. However, communication after my appointment didn't meet my expectations.

    I have been going to Lonestar Medical for over 10 years now…read more While no one really enjoys going to the doctor, Lonestar Medical makes it a breeze. I see Dr. Jay Gruhlkey and it is always a pleasant experience. You really have to appreciate his professional, yet laid back jeans and a button up shirt and cowboy boots, approach to medical care. He has never steered me wrong, and his bedside manner is outstanding. Listens to your issues, does not judge, and explores all options to treat your issues. Highly recommend him. He is hard to get in to see, but if you have time to wait, definitely try to.
